Elim Gems 2024
The celebration of Elim’s Gems took place on October 19 and 20, 2024. Nearly 60 “Gems”, persons 75 years old or better, were honored at a luncheon on Saturday, October 19, and at morning services on Sunday, October 20. Elim’s Gems have modeled through service God’s work in the world throughout their lives. Thank you to all who served as Gems interviewers, truly the foundation of the Gems project. Interviewer feedback following each interview reflected how much everyone thoroughly enjoyed the interview process that fostered connection and taught about the life of each of Elim’s Gem. Oral interviews were written into a narrative format, collated and printed into a Gems booklet, “The Gems of Elim”, and presented to each Gem at the October 19th Gems luncheon.
